Understanding Family Caregivers' Needs in Coping with the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of People with Dementia: A Hermeneutic-Phenomenological Study.

Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are progressive conditions. Family caregivers of patients, especially those caring for patients with ADRD exhibiting behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), undergo significant physical and mental changes during long-term care. While most researchers have focused on the specific needs of family caregivers, the comprehensive understanding of these needs is limited.

Perceived professional benefits and associated factors among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study.

Aims: To examine the perceived professional benefits (PPB) and associated factors among nurses during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in China.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: Using the snowball sampling method, 492 nurses (478 females, 14 males) were recruited.

The status and associated factors of junior nurses' transition shock: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To analyse junior nurses transition shock status and its associated factors.

Background: When nurses experience transition shock, turnover intentions followed by turnover behaviour are likely, which is unfavourable for the stable development of nursing teams.

Methods: Using convenience sampling, 1,148 Chinese junior nurses were recruited.

Effects of a hospital-based leisure activities programme on nurses' stress, self-perceived anxiety and depression: A mixed methods study.

Aims: To determine the effects of a hospital-based leisure activities programme on nurses' stress, self-perceived anxiety and depression.

Background: Nursing work in clinical settings is highly stressful and may result in an increase in nurses' turnover rate, which threatens the quality of nursing care and patient safety.

Methods: We used a mixed methods design and a three-month intervention (January to April, 2019) involving a convenience sample of 176 nurses working at a Chinese tertiary hospital.

Dispatched nurses' experience of wearing full gear personal protective equipment to care for COVID-19 patients in China-A descriptive qualitative study.

Aims And Objectives: We explored dispatched nurses' experiences of wearing full gear personal protective equipment to care for patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China.

Background: Full gear personal protective equipment is the primary and foremost measure to prevent the contact and transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2); however, working in full gear personal protective equipment may hinder nursing care activities and thus negatively affect patients' and nurses' health.

Design: This descriptive qualitative inquiry followed the COREQ guidelines.

Emergency preparedness for heat illness in China: A cross-sectional observational study.

Background: The morbidity and mortality rates from heat illness have increased due to a higher number of heatwaves. Effective urgent care of heat illness is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. However, few studies have examined the emergency preparedness measures required for treating such patients.

Serotonin control of thermotaxis memory behavior in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Caenorhabditis elegans is as an ideal model system for the study of mechanisms underlying learning and memory. In the present study, we employed C. elegans assay system of thermotaxis memory to investigate the possible role of serotonin neurotransmitter in memory control.

Regulation of longevity by genes required for the functions of AIY interneuron in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

In Caenorhabditis elegans, functional ttx-3, sra-11, ceh-10, and ceh-23 genes are required for the functions of AIY interneuron. Compared to wild-type N2, mutations in ttx-3 and ceh-10 significantly decreased lifespan, whereas mutations in sra-11 and ceh-23 did not obviously influence nematode lifespan. Mutations in ttx-3 and ceh-10 were associated closely with lower pumping rates at adult day 8 and caused a more rapid accumulated intestinal autofluorescence than wild-type N2.

Genes required for the functions of olfactory AWA neuron regulate the longevity of Caenorhabditis elegans in an insulin/IGF signaling-dependent fashion.

Objective: To investigate the interaction between the genes required for the functions of AWA olfactory neuron and insulin/IGF signaling in regulating the longevity of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans).

Methods: The mutants that had loss-of-function mutation of the genes required for AWA, AWC, ASE, and AFD sensory neurons were employed.
